Giving Medicine to Cats - Not Fun
Ok, so I mentioned that both Remi and Roxy are taking medicine for their colds. Not too bad - they hate having the eye ointment but they get over it. Honu is a different story. Unfortunately Honu will not leave the house. Not in a carrier, not in your arms - you could practically have the front door open and try and push her out and she will fight you. On the rare occcasion that she has been forced to go into the carrier and go for a ride, it has been a problem - each and every time she has had an "accident" in the carrier. And it's really really bad - and she is completely traumatised. So, with her having a tummy ache and me not wanting to upset her further by a trip to the vet unless I absolutely have to, I went to the pet store and bought a homeopathic treatment for her tummy. It's drops that you can "easily" put in her mouth, and it is supposed to help. I think before they put "easily" on any advertisement relating to cats, they should have to test it on Honu - that should be the law. If it works on her, then it can be legal to put it on their label. Here's how it went... Honu was on the bed. I went to her, petted her, told her I loved her and that I had bought her some tummy medicine. Honu looked at me like I was an idiot. I then took Honu in my arms and tried to "easily give her some drops". Yeah, fat chance. By the time I was done, Honu was really mad and I had a big scratch on my leg and a small one on my arm. I'm off to get some body armor before the next dose is due.
